Streszczenie:
Objective: To develop a fully automated full-thickness cartilage segmentation and mapping of T1, T1ρ, and T2*, as well as macromolecular fraction (MMF) by combining a series of quantitative 3D ultrashort echo time (UTE) cones MR imaging with a transfer learning–based U-Net convolutional neural networks (CNN) model. Methods: Sixty-five participants (20 normal, 29 doubtful-minimal osteoarthritis (OA), and 16 moderate-severe OA) were scanned using 3D UTE cones T1 (Cones-T1), adiabatic T1ρ (Cones-AdiabT1ρ), T2* (Cones-T2*), and magnetization transfer (Cones-MT) sequences at 3 T. Manual segmentation was performed by two experienced radiologists, and automatic segmentation was completed using the proposed U-Net CNN model. The accuracy of cartilage segmentation was evaluated using the Dice score and volumetric overlap error (VOE). Pearson correlation coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated to evaluate the consistency of quantitative MR parameters extracted from automatic and manual segmentations. UTE biomarkers were compared among different subject groups using one-way ANOVA. Results: The U-Net CNN model provided reliable cartilage segmentation with a mean Dice score of 0.82 and a mean VOE of 29.86%. The consistency of Cones-T1, Cones-AdiabT1ρ, Cones-T2*, and MMF calculated using automatic and manual segmentations ranged from 0.91 to 0.99 for Pearson correlation coefficients, and from 0.91 to 0.96 for ICCs, respectively. Significant increases in Cones-T1, Cones-AdiabT1ρ, and Cones-T2* (p < 0.05) and a decrease in MMF (p < 0.001) were observed in doubtful-minimal OA and/or moderate-severe OA over normal controls. Conclusion: Quantitative 3D UTE cones MR imaging combined with the proposed U-Net CNN model allows a fully automated comprehensive assessment of articular cartilage.

Streszczenie:
Purpose: To develop a deep learning-based method for knee menisci segmentation in 3D ultrashort echo time (UTE) cones MR imaging, and to automatically determine MR relaxation times, namely the T1, T1ρ, and T2* parameters, which can be used to assess knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Whole knee joint imaging was performed using 3D UTE cones sequences to collect data from 61 human subjects. Regions of interest (ROIs) were outlined by 2 experienced radiologists based on subtracted T1ρ-weighted MR images. Transfer learning was applied to develop 2D attention U-Net convolutional neural networks for the menisci segmentation based on each radiologist's ROIs separately. Dice scores were calculated to assess segmentation performance. Next, the T1, T1ρ, T2* relaxations, and ROI areas were determined for the manual and automatic segmentations, then compared. Results: The models developed using ROIs provided by 2 radiologists achieved high Dice scores of 0.860 and 0.833, while the radiologists' manual segmentations achieved a Dice score of 0.820. Linear correlation coefficients for the T1, T1ρ, and T2* relaxations calculated using the automatic and manual segmentations ranged between 0.90 and 0.97, and there were no associated differences between the estimated average meniscal relaxation parameters. The deep learning models achieved segmentation performance equivalent to the inter-observer variability of 2 radiologists. Conclusion: The proposed deep learning-based approach can be used to efficiently generate automatic segmentations and determine meniscal relaxations times. The method has the potential to help radiologists with the assessment of meniscal diseases, such as OA.
